Dual monitor performance?

[Shanghaied]

So what's everyone's opinions on the impact on performance while running 2x LCDs on a single card?

If you mean just gaming on one of the monitors, I see very little different (1-2fps) in any game. I leave the second one enabled all of the time.

Thanks for the reply. I just picked up a second 2253BW. I'll play around with it and see if there's a difference. I currently have WoW running on the primary and my mail, browser, etc on the other. seems to be no difference so far.

Gotta say that I'm LOVING the extra real estate :beer:

In WoW, if you don't already, run it "Windowed mode" and "Maximized". This allows you to interact with anything on the other screen or in front of the game without minimizing WoW.

Good tip with the windowed mode.

So far I've been letting WoW run and opening a bunch of stuff on the 2nd monitor (media player visualizations, mail, 2x browsers, etc.). No probs. WoW is still at 60fps.
